tipping a musician

[Bartholomew3]

I've been to Mexican restaurants where I've tipped the Mariachi's just to go away

I was in an upscale restaurant with my wife and she asked the violin trio to take a hike.

Can't stand eating with people standing over us - PITA.

My wife is one classy chick...not always.

My wife and I were out with another couple for dinner last night. It is a small place, with 10-12 tables and garage sale dinnerware. The food is incredible, with every bite having a slightly different taste than the next. The place has recently won an award as being in the top two in the state.

There was a fellow playing guitar. At first, he just noodled, but over time worked up to full blown fingerpicking and slide with vocals songs. After every song, he got some applause.

The total for the meal was very reasonable, $88 with tip. After we got home, we realized that we had neglected to tip the musician. I'd like to swing by tonight and leave a tip for him. In what amount?

When I was playing, I got REAL tips from hot babes...kisses! Looks like you got yourself between a rock and a hard place.

Just kisses? You weren't trying hard enough! I've been flashed, fondled, and fornicated upon.


Of course, there's a fine line between "sowing your wild oats" and "dirty old man", and I think I'm on the wrong side of that one these days.

Okay, a few pointers here. First of all, you gotta wait until he's had a couple too many. Then, you sneak up on him and give him a shove. He'll tip over pretty easily after that.

Now THAT'S a first post.

As I recall, mine was just some stupid question. :neutral:

had a really nice dinner awhile back... wonderful guitar player... just wonderful... the diners hardly noticed him... he didn't seem to mind... I've been more lucky in life than not... I dropped a 20.00 in the jar and he smiled broadly... dinner for two was like 185.00 so, it was probably just about right.

STD's scared the crap out of me. Still does. That is why I have been married to one woman for 35 years. Oh yeah...also I love her.
